Dependent upon size. Some brands are a single feed kill. Toxicity is based on body weight, so takes a little longer on larger rats & they will generally stagger around & appear drunk for a bit until they drop off.
Rat poison can have a bitter and acrid odor. It may also have a chemical scent due to its toxic components. It is important to handle rat poison with care and avoid inhaling its smell.
Rat urine can potentially transmit diseases such as leptospirosis, which can be harmful to humans. It is important to take precautions when handling areas contaminated by rat urine to prevent the risk of infection.
Arsenic is the poisonous element used in both medicines and rat poison. In controlled doses, arsenic is used in certain medications to treat certain medical conditions, while in larger quantities it is used as a rodenticide to kill rats and other pests.
The organic compound widely used as a rat poison in the 1950s was warfarin.
Painfully. If you mean, how does it kill a human, according to a National Poison Control Service, the amount of rat/mouse poisoning needed to kill an adult human is so great that it would not "make sense." (as if any of this would!) Several boxes full would make an adult sick, but ingesting several boxes would be awfully hard to ingest. The way in which rat poisoning kills mice or rats is through the same mechanism as Warfarin (used in humans under the brand name blood thinner, "Coumadin." These chemicals "thin" the blood and reduce its ability to clot. That is great news when trying to avoid a stroke or a heart attack, because the blood can "fit" through narrowed vessels, but bad news to a very small mammal, who, by eating enough of it, would bleed internally until it died. Even a large rat, though, weighs so little compared to a human, that the active poison in boxed rat/mouse poisoning would have little toxic effect. Dogs can get terribly messed up, though, as the stuff often seems tempting and tasty to them, so keep containers away from all pets. An overdose of a Coumadin-type product, whether intentional or not, can seriously damage/kill a human. The result is similar to the way in which a hemophiliac would bleed internally, possibly leading to death. The remedy, if applied in time, is a combination of blood transfusions and vitamin K, which increases the clotting factor found in normal blood, that has been depleted by the poison. This is why ongoing testing must be done whenever anyone is on blood thinners, so the right amount can be administered and titrated.
